MCW50™ & MCW50-T™VGA Cooler Reviews

"[The MCW50-T™ thermoelectric cooler is a] Very good choice for aggressive GPU cooling, but only for experienced users." March 2004
"Swiftech's MCW50™ Waterblock is a fine choice for GPU cooling. As GPU waterblocks are usually fitted in series with a CPU waterblock, low flow resistance is particularly important for a GPU waterblock" March 2004

MCW50-T™ vs Danger Den's Maze4-1GPU
"The race was close, but in the end Swiftech’s [MCW50-T™ thermoelectric cooler] superior design, and in turn performance, earns it the nod. DD simply couldn’t beat the direct peltier cooling performance with their Maze4 design." February 2004

"The MCW50-T thermoelectric GPU cooler is another high-quality product from Swiftech that is capable of providing extreme performance for today’s high-end graphics processors. As always the craftsmanship, fit and finish is excellent. I can highly recommend this unit to any technically savvy user who desires a pre-assembled unit to cool their overclocked graphics processor below ambient temperatures." June 2003
I was amazed how cool it was [with the MCW50™] . Let's see how high I could overclock the videocard now. Overall a perfect product. I couldn't pimp it any more then this. This is a great product for cooling down that videocard of yours, and oc it. 9.5 out of 10 !! January 2003
"Swiftech has made attaining an excellent GPU core speed a reality. No longer will people have to work shady deals trying to find a good-stepped video card with good overclocking capabilities... What I did acknowledge most of all was a [MCW50-T™] product that is efficient, well executed in design, and generally a must have for someone with an existing water cooling system who wishes to have the ultimate in video card performance." January 2003
"Factoring in the performance gains from using this device, along with the quality of product, and the relatively easy installation makes this Swiftech [MCW50-T™] product an absolute winner". January 2003

"The overclocking numbers speak for themselves. If you are running an H2O system, there is no better addition than the MCW50. If you are building an H2O system from scratch, definitely take a look at the MCW50™. Swiftech again brings its craftsmanship to the table, and performance and durability are second to none." Dec 2002


"As you can see, the Swiftech MCW50™ performs outstandingly... I think the numbers speak for themselves. It’s obviously worth the $39. I really liked the mounting kit that Swiftech included and I also thought the block itself was of excellent quality." Dec 2002

"..Overclocking the ATI Radeon 9700 Pro to 420Mhz is definitely a good increase of speed...I have found that its ease of use is up with the best..Basically it comes down to a 'ready-to-go' water block with a Peltier that saves you time and frustration of having to build one yourself...Swiftech has provided a high-end product that truly performs beyond expectations. The construction of the MCW50-T™block shows real craftsmanship." November 2002


"[with the MCW50™] I overclocked [my gForce4] a full 15Mhz faster with water cooling, and the annoying high-pitched noise that was once there due to the stock cooling fan is now gone..Overall Swiftech has produced an extremely satisfying product sure to find it's way into many cases.." November 2002
